Carne Ado Ingredients

Method

Carne Ado Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    In a bowl, combine ancho chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the flank steak, then drizzle with olive oil. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Then slice against the grain into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the carne ado sliced, with your choice of tortillas and toppings such as onions, cilantro, and lime.
